An air conditioner comprises a heat exchanger for conducting refrigerant in heat exchanging relationship with an air flow, and a blower for drawing air through the heat exchanger. An adjustable flow distributing plate is disposed between the heat exchanger and blower and is movable by a motor to various positions for controlling the relative air flows through respective portions of the heat exchanger. Temperature sensors are connected to the heat exchanger for detecting the refrigerant temperature at various regions of the heat exchanger. The adjustable plate is positioned in a desired position in response to the detected refrigerant temperatures for equalizing the refrigerant temperatures in the regions of the heat exchanger.
